Choosing tyres for a 90s Honda

Hey guys! I’m looking to buy new tyres for my 96 Accord Coupe. As for the usage - I also own a Clio RS on semi-slicks that I use in the summer. The Accord is for when the Clio isn’t drivable - winter, heavy rain or longer rides where I want comfort. I live in Czechia - the winters are hit or miss - sometimes zero snow, sometimes loads 😂.

The car is on 15” wheels, I need either 185/65 or 195/60 tyres. What would you guys choose? I was looking at the Cinturato SF3. Looking for as much value as possible.

Hey! I’m a proud owner of a 1996 Accord coupe. Mechanically the car is awesome, but the clearcoat is failing basically on the whole top of the car, excluding the hood.

What course of action would you guys suggest? I’ve done car detailing on my other vehicle before, so u do own an orbital polisher. Do I try to save what I can and paint what’s gone with spray cans? I’m worried about the color not blending. Wrap? Plastidip?

I’m trying to go cheap here, so a full professional respray is not an option. I can borrow a compressor and spray gun (done smaller parts before), but don’t have a big enough garage to do the whole car.

Cheers!

BTW that’s pollen on the photos!
